WHAT HAPPENED TO US TO THINK UNCLE SAM IS TO TAKE CARE OF US. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PROVIDING FOR OURSELVES.

People can no longer afford the costs of Insurance and with Gas prices continuously rising people are not able to afford Healthcare. Sure we should take care of ourselves, but what about the people who have paid for Social Security their whole life and the money will not be there because of the war and all the other natural disasters that have happened. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki discuss entitlement in great length in there book why we want Americans to be rich. There soon will be no middle class in the US and it will be survuval of the fittest. Financial Education should be taught in all the schools. Every time there is a Political Election The topic of Health Care reform always comes up but year after year nothing is ever done despite the promises.

Poople abuse health care programs to avoid work. It's human nature. They will always demand more than there is reasonable money to provide. Yet society has an on-going obligation to provide some level of catastrophic health care to those who are least able to fend for themselves. Just as society has an obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us - the unborn and the aged. So let's get busy and start to prepare a limited, well enforced, disciplined, catastrohic plan that covers those who cannot earn a living for extreme physical (not psychological) reasons.

Well, so much for Pawlenty's political career, as we certainly can't have a politician who looks at reality.

In the case of healthcare, it is an obligation, not an amenity. Whether the obligation can be satisfied via self sufficiency, or the governed policies that makes dependents and not independents is the problem. Such a strong nation, and yet unable to pay its debts. A nation of people that can afford to take their children to a pop-teen concert, but gripes about not being able to pay their emergency room bills. This is our world, the monsters that have been created by legislature, have now now turned against them.

I hate to think that a family of four, earning just under $85,000, would qualify for "free" public coverage. In most states, family eligibility is capped at 200% (rather than 400%) of the FPL. Critics claim families earning 400% (i.e. $84,800) have little money left over after paying bills for health insurance. But 400% is above the median income. Does this mean that the (roughly) 50% of the population that earns more than the median should subsidize (or provide free) health care for those who earn less than the median? I don’t think so. Providing charity care (or public coverage) to families too poor to afford it on their own is something that a just society does. But I don't agree that everyone earning less than the median it "too poor to afford coverage." In fact, the CBO estimates that 89% of families earning between 300% and 400% of the FPL already have private coverage. For those earning between 200% and 300% of the FPL, 77% already have private coverage. This also suggests we could spend significant amounts of money on people who dropped private coverage to take the free, public coverage.

Expanding insurance coverage is laudable, but piecemail increases without addressing the grossly inflated delivery system only adds to the grossly inflated costs... Governor Palwenty likely is pandering to the extreme right wing that still controls the Republican Party through his veto, so no sign of responsibility there. Has he addressed costs? Do any mainstream politicians address costs? No sign of that. When will the ultimate payers: taxpayers/citizens/employees wake up to how little relative value they receive from their spending on healthcare?
